Fig. 17 is a face view of a cheekor form to the filling in whereof my invention is particularly adapted.Fig. 1S is a fragmentary face view of a record sheet.

Referring first to Figs. 1, 7, 8 and 10, the main frame of the machineis shown as comprising a base 1, posts 2 and a top plate 3 from whichrise fixed standards 4 and 5 whereto are attached frontand rear groovedguide rails 6 and 7 which res actively cooperate through ant-ifrictionba ls 8 with the front bar 9 and rear bar 10 of a rectangular carriageframe or truck which further comprises connecting end bars 11. Journaledinthe end bars is the axle 12 of a long rotanv non-shiftable platen 13,said axle being provided at. its ends with finger wheels 14. Cooperativewith the front face of the platen is a eireuiarly arranged series oftype hars 15 pivoted in hangers 16 Secured against. the front face of asegment 17. llaeh type bar ia preferably provided with a single needlepointed type and is eonnected h v a linlc 1S, a lever 19 and a Secondlink 20 with a key lever 21, the set of key levers being iulerumed on-abar 22 at the rear 0f the hase and each key lever being provided with arestoring: spi-in`4 '2i-l. A universal bnr Qi underlies the key leversand is supported hy arms Q5 depending from crank arms 26 fixed to a rockshaft 9.7' that is provided with a eentral, rear\vardl \r extendingcrank arm .28 connected by u link 29 with a dog rocker 30 pivoted at 31ou a stationary bracket 32. Dogs 3? aud 34 mounted on said dog rockereoma-nte with a toothed eseupament wheel 3? that. operativelyeonneetetxl withn feed pinion 36 fixed to a shaft (not shown) but whivhhea rs in a stationary bracket 37. Normullli-v meshing with thu pinion36 is a swing-pressed feed ruck i8 earred hy arma Il!! pivoted ou therear har l() nl' the cul'- ringe. 'lhe esrapeluent devices controlthrough the printing key levers the step-bystep lrftward movement of thecarriage under the impulse of a spring drum or luotor l0 which isconnected by a strap 41 with an arm li! depending from the right-handone oi' a pair of vbrackets 43 screwed to the real bur l at its ends.

The brackets l provide a support for a toothed column stop bar ll thatis comprised in the usual Labulating mechanism of the machine. Mountedadjustably on the stop bar 44 are column stops 45 with which coopera-todenominational stop levers 46 pivoted at 47 in a. 'bracket Aor support4S at taehed to the main frame at its rear. The lower ends of the levers4.6 are pivoially connected to push rods 49 that bear 'rn a aide bar 50fixed 'to the. front of the base. Said rods 49 are provided withtabulator keys 51 and with restoring springs 52. Each key 51 whenoperated projects its assoeiato stop lever llGvinto the path of the co1-umn stops and concurrently eilects the release of the carriage byseparat-ing the feed rack 238 from the pinion 36. i The carriagereleasing devices comprise a lifting:r shoe underlxv'ng the rack 38,said shoe being mounted on the front arm of a lever 54 pivoted at 55 ona statonar)7 bracket 56. The rear arm of the :lever 54 is connected by alink 57 with an angular arm 58 fixed to a rock sliat- 59 mounted in the'rear portion of the base and provided with a pair of depending crankarms 60 connected 'by rods 61 with a bail 62 pivoted on a stationary rod63. The rods 61 support a cross bar or strap 6l which is fastened 4tothe rods 6l in the rear of the ends of the levers 46 so that the leverends actuate the har and through the described train of connectionsswing upward the shoe 53 to disconnect the rack 38 from the feed pinion36. Reston ing springs 65 restore the releasing devices to normalposition after operation.

The platen 13 is eqpipped with line spacing mechanism of or( inaryRemington construction comprising a ratchet wheel 66 op orativel)vconnected with the right-hand end of the platen. W'ith said ratchetwheel cngages a roller datent 67 mounted on a spring arm GS. The ratchetwheel is actuated by a pawl 69 operative by devices comprising a link 70connecting the pawl with a bell crank '71 pivoted on the carriage andconnected by a link 72 with a crank arm T3 on a rock shaft 7l mounted toturn in a housing T5 on the rightdiand end bar 1l, the. rock shaftterminating at its front end in a. downwardly extending line spacinglinger piece or handlel 76 which is operative both to turn the 'platenand restore the carriage from left to right.

Thel platen is equipped with paper fooding mechanism which in somorespects rcsolubles that disclosed in the patent to lholps No.1,100,449, granted June 16, 1914 and found in some specially equippedRenn iugton typcwriting machines; but thc present mechanism has novelfeatures not found in the prior construction. Two sets of paper feedrollers are provided and lwo release keys arranged atop )of-tite ends ofthe platen. The. smaller feed roller or set of rollers coperates withthe left-hand end portion of the platen and is rcleasable by the.left-hand key independently of tho right-'hand roller or set of rollerswhich is twice as Elon as the leftshand set and cooperates witi thcright-hand end portion of the platen. The right-hand release key effects'the release of all of the feed rollers simultaneously.

Referring to Figs. 1 and 5 to 9. inclusive, the lefthand 'feed roller isshown as coinposed of sections TT mounted on a rod or shaft 78 which issupported on brackets or arms 79 provided with collars 80 which boarloosely on a sleeve 81 mounted to tarn on a rock Shaft 82. Said rockshaft extends from end to end of the platen and is supported on parallelend bars 83 arranged inside the end bars 11 and connected under theplaten by a cross bar 84. The bars 83 and cross 'bar S4 constitute aframe, which frame is rigid with the main part of the carriage frame,'the connection between the two frames comprising sleeves 85 which havea tight lit at their outer ends in the end bars 11 and are screwed intothe bars S3, each being set by a locking nut 86 which copcrates with theouter face of the bar S3, the inner face of said bar being clamped bythe 'head or flange ST of the slee-re S5. The

'left-hand feed roller 7T is urged toward the platen by draw springs 88connected to the brackets 79. To prevent outward movement of saidbrackets along the sleeve S1, collars 89 are set fast on said sleeve,whileI inward. movement of said brackets is prevented by short crankarms 90 set fast on said sleeve and provided with lateral pins 91 whichoverlie the brackets 79. A paper apron 92 cut out to'providc openingsfor the. feed roller sections is mounted on blocks 92' which bearloosely on the sleeve S1. Said apron is maintained in normal position byan arm 94 Easton the sleeve Sl at about the middle of the apron 92. Thoforward end portion of the apron 92 is provided with a. skeletonextension which is preferably in the form of a rectangular wire frame 95with rounded corners as best shown in Fie'. 15. This frame extends the.length of the apron 92 and its lower side is fixed to the upper edgeportion oi: the apron by soldering or in any other suitable. way sothat. the wire extension is rigid with the. apron.

When tho apron is moved away from the. platen during the, releasingoperation as l ill) bill sheet or' check may be readily introduced fromthe front, being guided over the extension 95. In othei` Words, theextension 95 facilitates the front feeding of a Work sheet that isintroduced over the lefthand end portion. of the platen. The sleeve -81is cut at its left-hand end as indicated at 81*a to provide a shoulderwhich coperates with an oppositeiy shouldered sleeve or hub 96 bearinglon the shaft 82 and rigid with a crank arm 97 which is held againstdisplacement by a headed screw 98 that is threaded into the end of theshaft 82. The crank arm 97 is pivotally connected With the lower end ofan arm 99 which at its upper end is formed into an eccentric strap 100which receives an eccentric 101 pivoted at 102 on the lefthand endbaril'83 and rigid with a releasing arm 103 which terminates in arelease key or finger piece 101. Non mally this key 104 is initsrearmost position shown in Fig. 8v but when it is swung forward, itcauses the shouldered collar 96 to engage behind the shaft 82 with theshouldered end of4 the sleeve 81, thereby )ickimr u1) said sleeve andcausing vits u 3' per portion to rotate forward with the result that thecrank arms 90rigid on said sleeve are turned, causing the pins 91 toa-ct against the bracket 79, overcoming the springs 88 and swinging thefeed roller 77 aivay from the platen. At the same time the arm 94 swingsdownward, releasing the apron 92. The feed roller is restored to normalposition by the springs 88 When the key 104 is returned. yTheright-.hand feed roller comprises sections 105 which are divided intotwo groups of three each, each group being mounted on a pair ofspring-pressed brackets or'arms 106 Which bear loosely on a sleeve 107mounted on the right-hand end portion of the shaft 82. The hub portionsof the inner lbrackets 105 are separated ,by a collar 108 on said sleeveand the outermost or rightdiand bracket is controlled by a collar, andthe hub portion of the innermost or left-hand bracket 106 abutsagainstan upright bearing portion 84a integral with theI cross bar 84.There are tWo of these bear- Y ing portions and the sleeve 81 passesloosely through them, these bearing portions preventing bowing of thesleeve 107 and the shaft 82. A long releasable paper apron 109 like theapron 92 coperates With the righthand end portion of the platen and itsapertured forward feed roller 105. Release arms 110 rigid on the sleeve107 are provided with pins 111 overlying the brackets 106 to turn thesleeve 107. To cause the pins 111 to release the feed roller 105,devices are provided comprising a crank arm 112 which has a lost motionconnection with the right-hand endvof the sleeve 107 similar to theconnection between the sleeve 81 and its crank armV 97.' The crank arm112 is pivotally connected with an arm 113 which is provided at itsupper end with an eccentric strap 114: that receives an eccentric 115pivoted at 116 on the right-handbal' 83. Rigid with the l eccentric 115is anarm 117 which terminates 'in a finger piece or right-hand releasekey 118. By pulling forward said-release key 118 from its rear positionthe sleeve 107 is turned to release the feed rolls 105. At its left-handend the sleeve 107 is shouldered as indicated at 119,- to cooperate witha -shouldered collar 120 fast on the shaft 82so that when the sleeve 107is turned by the key devices hereinafter described, it Will transmitmovement to the shaft through the collar 120. The shaft in turn willtransmit such movement through a shouldered collar 85 121 to' the sleeve81 which is shouldered at its rightehand end as indicated at 12,2 oppo-rsite to the collar 121. Thus the sleeve 107 is effective when actuatedby its key 118 to re- -lease the feed roller 105 and also to turn thesleeve 81 to release the feed roller 77. 'Onthe other hand, the releaseof the feed roller 77 will not affect the feed roller 105. This will bebest understood from a consideration of Fig. 7 from which it will beapparent that-4 the shoulder 122 on the sleeve 81 which the papercontrolling devices are arranged; that another set of paper controllingdevices is provided to cooperate with the opposite end portion of theplateny and releasable by a second key at the opposite end of the platenfrom the first key, said second key, in the present instance the key118, being effective to simultaneously release l both feed rollers orsets of paper control-ling devices. 4

A paper table 123 0f ordinary construction extends the full length ofthe platen at the rear side thereof and has laterally projecting-angularlugs 124 which are hinged at 125 torearwardlyextending portions 83 ofthe end bars 83, The portions 83a are connected at their rear ends byacross rod 126 and to the left-hand end portion of this cross rod ishinged a supplementary paper table 127 which underlies the main papertable 123 and extends a comparatively short distance toward the rightend as best shown in Fig. 1. The two'paper tables are connected anangular arm 128 which is 'extended portion is aiinger 129 which /isadjustably set in position by a set screw 13.0. .This finger underliesthe paper table 127 and provides a support forsaid table, holding it upso thatlt cannot strike a-g'linst/vv the side of the tabulator bracketor frame 48. Also -the finger so connects the two paper 4tables thatwhen the main table 123 islifted or swung forward the table 127 willalso be swung forward. In Fig.- 9 the finger 129 is shown, turnedslightly forward so that its construction can be seen. Adjusta'blymounted on the' table 123 at its left-hand side is a side edge gage13 1. This gageis in a vertical plane and is provided with an angularextension or tongue 1,32 which slidably engages in a grooved track 133riveted to the upper face'of the table 123. The construction is suchthat the gage or guide 131 isfrictionally held in adjusted positionlengthwise of the platen.

The manifold cut-out and denominational or differential side gagemechanisms are supported on a paper controlling or pressure vbail orcarrier different in some respects from that heretofore in use and which,i will be described in connection with Figs. 1 and 7 to 9. Perforatedears 134 rigidly mounted at opposite ends of \the front bar of thecarriage provide `bearings for the pintles or round end portions 135of-a square rod or rock shaft 136. Fixed to said rod near its ends andprojecting rearward are' arms 137 to the end portions of which arepivoted at 138 'ears 139 rigid with supplementary arms 140 which curveupward and rearward and are connected at their free ends by a round rodor bar 141. Adjustably mounted on the rod 141 are rubber coveredpressure rolls l142 of ordinary construction, these rolls coperatingwith the front'upper portion of the platen to hold the paper after ithas passed theprinting point. In the present construction two of theserollsv are shown -and 'they are intended for cooperation with theright-hand portionl of the wide record sheet i hich extends sub'vstanti'ally through the platen.

ll length of the The short work sheet or 'check is controlledindependently of said rolls. The

arms 140 are loosely mounted on the arms 137 and have a pivotal movementthereon Awhich is limited in -both directions by the engagement of thefront face of the arms- 140 with the back end or edge of the arms 137.This will be best understood.. from Figs. 7 and 8 from the first ofwhich it will be -seen that the-arms` arein the same plane, v

Ythe .connecting ear 139 being at one side of this plane while Fig. 8shows'the rounded faceo the arm 140 engaged withffthejlower of thepressure bail com rising the shaft.

136 and arms 137, as we' l"` as that of the supplementaryframecomprising the rod 141 and arms 140 pivoted onsaid main /frame, islimited/by stopor'detent devices comprising a horizontal ledge or stop143 screwed or pivoted to the under face of the left-hand end ba 11 andproieting inward therefrom. Sai ledge' provides a support for arelatively -movable latch forfstop device 144 pivoted at 145 totheleft-hand arm or bar 137 and 'terminating at its lowerfend in a no/sewhich rests on thex ledge 143,'1`sh`e.-

7) connected atoneend to the latch'and at the opposite end to a pawl'148 pivoted atI 149 :to the outer face .of said arm 137 normallymaintains the latch in the position shown in Figs. 8 and 9. y.'lhepawl148 is comprised in ribbon mechanism toV be hereinafter described. Thisposition of the latch. is determined by stop devices comprising alateral pin 150 projecting laterally inward fromthe bar 131, which pinengages with an enlarged hole' 151 formed in -thelatch Bv pressingrearward against the key 146 the spring 147 is overcome and the nose ofthe latch or detent 144 is swung forward past ythe stop ledge 143 4sothat the main and sup lementary frames may lowered thr ughthe :force ofgravity to the position shown in Fig. 16.. One purpose of this operationis to render operative the manifold cut-out.devices. v

f.'I `he manifold cut-out or type shield devices in the Vpresentnstancecomprise, as best appears from Figs. 1, 7, 9, 11 and 16, av plate 152 ofthin sheet vmetal curved slightly to conform to the surface of theplaten and 4secured to the under side of the rod `141 of thesupplementary bail frame at its left-handl end portion by screws 153,

to be made on't 71e underlying sheet or sheets,4

resulting in parallel lines like ruled lines being olli-set on saidunderlymg sheets 1n- `stead of as`in prior constructions a black smudgethe full width of the manifold cutout strip. In other words, theunsightly suuldging andfblacking of the underlying sheets resulting fromthe use of prior constructions of manifold cut-outs isavoided by thepresentinvention. It will be understood that the manifold 'cut-out ortype shield is arranged in the present instance to cooperate only withthe work sheet or sheets at the left-hand end portion of the Y platen.It is of such length as to extend only'through the length -of theshorter work sheet or check hereinafter more particularly'described andits purposeis to prevent certain items or entries written on the checkfrom being duplicated on the under.

lying ,sheet 'or sheets by interposing in the ath of the types a shieldfor said underying sheet or sheets, thus cuttin reventing theimpressions from being manlfolded orduplicated on certain of theVsheets. When the pressure bail frames are -in the Fig. 9 position themanifold cut-out 'is raised above the printing line so thaty it isinoperative, with the result that the type impressions will be made onall the work sheets that are opposite thel printing pointf When,however, the bail frames are lowered as in F ig. 16, the manifoldcut-out is brought opposite the printing point covering t ie saine sothat it will act as an anvil or' backing, so that -the type impressionswill be made onthe work sheet or sheets that may be outside or forwardof it but shielding such work sheet or sheets as may be between saidcut-out and the printing 'face of the platen', and so preventing the'key 146 the stops or detents are rendered' inoperative; that is to say,the manifold cut-out is movable as theresult of a manual operation frominoperative to operative posltion. In the `present instance means areprovided for automatically restoring the manifold cutfout from operativeto inoperative position, Said means comprise an engaging device orroller 158 mounted on a slide 159 which is adjustable on the square rod136`andis held set in desired positions therealong by means of a set`screw 160.` The roller 1438 is adapted to cooperate with a cam memberin the form of an angular arm out or 161 fixed b set screws 162 to theunder side of the ront rail 6 at the middle of the machine. The cam armextends rearward and upward and terminatesin a curved edge or doublecam163 having right and left camming portions. When the manifold cut 4 out152 is inoperative as in Fig. 9, the roller 1.58 is above the cam 163;but when the key 146 is operatedy to lower the cut-out de- `vice and thebail frames, the roller 158 is swung down so that its path isintercepted by the cam 163. Consequently when in the course of movementof the. carriage either toward the ri ht or vtoward the left, the rolleris broug t into contact, with the cam,` it will ride up on said cam andwill be swung up carrying with it' the rock shaft 136 whichV in'turnwill effect both the bail frames and the .cut-out 1527 restoring theseparts from the Fig. 16 to the Fig. 9 position. During the course of thisrestoring movementthe latch 14:4 will swing rearward over the stop 143to automatically retain the parts inthe Fig. 9 position. It will beunderstood, of course, that-the manifold cut-out may be lifted manuallyfrom the Fig. 16` to theFig, 9 position by turning the shaft 136 by handeither by using the roller 158 and slide 159 as a finger piece orotherwise; but in using the invention in cony nection with the work forwhich it-was more particularly designed, it is preferable to 'lower thecut-out and bail frames by hand and lift them automatically, as willappear more clearly when`- the operation is eX- -away or outward fromthe surface of the platen, this off-'set portion being intermediate twoedge portions which are in a difl'plained in detail in connection withthe i ferent plane from the off-set portion andA which contact with thesurface of the platen or the paper thereon; that the manifold cut outdevice or type shield is onvthe second of two frames, the first or mainframe being pivoted on a carriage and the second frame being pivoted onthe first frame; that the main and secondary frames constitute a twopartgravity fra-me; that associated with the frames or two-part frame arestop, detent or latch devices normally maintaining the type shield orcut-out out of operative position; that when the stop devices arerendered inoperative the frames drop throu h the force ofgravitycarrying with them t ie shield or cut-out device which is therebybrought to operative positionf opposite theV printing point; that theshield is rigid on saidv second frame which frame isa `Ushaped bailprovided with one or more pressure rolls n 35 carriage when the latteris restored to the right. In order to -prevent sliding move-v l positely4disposed U-shaped or main bail;

v and that this vsecond U-shaped bail carries' a roll or engaging devicewhich coperates.V with a cam during carriage movements to' restore themanifold cut-out devicev and bail frames from lower or operative toupper or frame stop is of ordinary construction and is. designated as164, being pivotall supported on. the rail 6 'at about the mi dle of itslength. Coperative with the lstop 164 is a carriage carried stop 165which is always in line with thestop 164.v Thestop 165 is ofv ordinaryconstructionv and is slidably mounted atA the left-hand side of thecarriage,beingprovided with detent or locking devices by which it may beset where desired. Between the carriage-carried' stop y 165 and thestationary stop 164 is arranged.,

-' a second carriage-carried stop. -This secn bar 9 ofthe carriage andits front end pordevices are provlded comprisin ond carriage-carriedstop is inthe formof a plate-like member 166 provided with paral- 'leldown-turned.l ears 167 perforated to fit loosely over the square rockshaft 136 near the left-hand end thereof. F rom the rock shaft the plate166 extends forward over the front -tion is curved or inclined downwards othat -when theplate rests you the front bar 1t will be inline withthestationary stop 164 and will coperate with said stop to arrest the 4mentofthe stop 166 along the shaft 136, two paral-v lel pins 168- and 169which project radially from fthe shaft 136. Between said pins isfloosely confined ,the right-hand ear 167.

These =.pins, it will be understood, 'act as limiting stops and conlinethe stop 166 to a slight movement lengthwise of the shaft 1 136. f In.addition the stop pin 168 has the further function of providing aconnection between the shaft 136 and the stop-1166 of a character totransmit movement fromr .the shaft to the stop; that is, when the shaftis turned from the Fig. 9 to the Fig. 16 position the pin 168 willengagethe underside of the stop plate 166 and will lift. said plate or swingit upward so that it will be out of line with the stop 164 and will, asa consequence, be ineffective to arrest the carriage. If at this timethe carria e shouldv be returned toward the right, t e stop 166 willpass freely over the stop 164 andthe carriage will be arrested in aposition fartherto the right than before by the engagement of the stop165 with thefstop 164. he usual carriage-carried margin or end stop notVshown) may also be adjustably mounte on the carriage .at the right-handend thereof 't coperate with the stop 1644 at the end of the line. Whenthe frame comprising the shaft 136 is restored from the F ig.'16 to theFig. 9 position, the stop 166 will again drop downto operative positionin line withV the stop 164. It will thus be seen that means ,Y areprovided for automatically controlling: y the carriage-carried stop 166by the means" -or devices which control also the type shield or ribboncut-out devices so-as to vary the marginal position of the carriage whenmoving toward the right. `Further it willv be.

noted that when the stop 166 is in operative position or in line withthe stop 164, the type shield device is in inoperative position and`that when the type shield is moved to 0p- -erative Positionas a result.of actuating the Y 'i key 146, the stop 166 will concurrent moved toinoperative position; while gage devices whichl will be described inconl nection-with Figs. 1 to 4 'and 7 to 9.

175 ywhichare adapted to engage with saidl This slidable movement .isfor the purpose of moving said bars or slides 172--174 into and out ofoperative position. The relationship of said gages or devices in respectto each otherconsidered lengthwise of the platen Anever varies, however,but always remains constant, as does also their relation to the platenconsidered lengthwise thereof. In `order to prevent the slides frombeing accidentally displaced after they have once been set, it ispreferred to provide devices in the form of friction plates 177 of thinsprin metal and which when made are slightly ent or curved. Said platesare arranged between the slides and are themselves prevented fromslidinrr movements by the screws 176 which pass through round holes 178in said plates. It will be understood that when the plates arestraightened out flat by tightening Vthe screws 176, they will take upall looseness in the slides and will exert sufficient friction toprevent accidental movement thereof while a lowing a readyback and forthad Such adjustments are conveniently accomplished by meansof keys orfinger pieces in the form of cylindrical buttons 179 suitably secured tothe tops of the' slides. InA order not to interfere with each other, thebuttons are spaced apart lengthwise of the slides, tliemiddle buttonbeing at' the middle of its 'slideand the other two buttons at oppositeends of their respective slides. Preferably 'the tops of the .buttonsare provided with indicatin marks to facilitate the proper selection vothe slides. In the present instance, the ri ht# hand button is marked 1,the middle utton is marked and the left-hand but,l

ton is marked 100. These three slides, togetherwith the rear end isintended to coperate with the short bill sheet or `check that is fedover. the left-hand i `yend .portionr of theplaten1 while the sidebesaid that the slidable gages 172-f174f are separately effective toposition denominationally the front-fed work sheet with which they maycoperate, so that this w'ork sheet or check may be varia-blypositior'i'ed widthwise in "any one of a plurality of denominationalpositions with the result that while the entries on successive checks,

whatever their denomination, may always be' begun close yto the dollarmark on theV check, they will, nevertheless, properly be entereddenominationally 4on the main sheet in the single underlyingdenominational'column. This result will follow because while the main'sheet remains in an unvarying poortion of the bar 170, constitute avariable side gage which j l ward together.

It will be observed that I'provide denogxi- 4 i national side gages,stops 'or guideswhich sition lengthwise ofthe platen, 'each successivecheclcmay be varied denominatiomV ally in position as it is entered inthmachine according to the amount to be Written on it, such variationbeing effected by setting the proper one of .the slides in operativeposition and gaging the check by it. In this connection it will be bornein mind that the thickness or width of each slide is equal to the lengthof a Iletter space movement of the carriage. For example, assuming allof the slides to be Set in rearmost position as in Figs. 4 and 7 theywill be allowed, to remain in this position kif the amount on."the firstcheck is in units of dollars. If the amount of the second check is intens of dollars 'the l slide is drawn forwardas shown bythe dotted linesin Fig. 4, leaving the 10 slide effective Aso that the second` checkwill Abe positioned one `unit space to the left of the first check;while if theyamount is in hundreds of dollars the10 slide is also drawnforward, leaving thef100 slide effective.

`An entry in one thousands of dollars will require that. all threeslides be ydrawn forward to inoperative position, leaving thej slightly`the rear face ofthe slide 173. SaidV slide 173 in turn has on its rearend a headed pin-. 181 which overlaps slightly the slide174- "As aresult if all the slides' are in rearmostfpositionuas in Fig. 4 and itbe desired to render the ,bar 170 operative, it is fonlyne'essary vtopress or ,100 button .179.- If this 1s done the head ull forward theofthepinlBO will pick up the slide 173 and the headoffthe pin 181 willthereupon pick -up the slidef17'4 so' that all three slideswill 'besimultaneously moved forward.

supplementary ribbon" mechanism in the Said presentvcase -is mounted onthe carriage of the machine and will be described in connection withFigs. 7-9, 13, 14 and 16. A U- shaped bracket 182 is secured by screws.183

to the top of the left-hand end bar- 11 forl' ward of the platen axle.vThe upstanding ears. of this bracket are perforated to provide bearingopenings for the collar portion 184 of a ratchet Wheel' 185 which isarranged inside ofthe I bracket in vposition to beactuated by thepawl148 which coper` ates with the` front,upper portion of said `ratchetwheel. Passing through the collar" portionand secured in fixed relationtherelel with the platen axis.

with by a set screw 186 is a shaft 187 paral- Said shaftextendsleftward-beyond the bracket. and provides a -support for two parallelribbon carriers or spools 1,88 and 189 of ordinary construction eachcomprisingflanges and a connecting core. 'These spools are 'mounted sidebyV side'loosel'y on the shaft and are separated bygan 'enlarged portion187 of the shaft.

The right-hand 'spool is loosely conimed be-` Vtween this'collar portion187'* and a disk 190`U`which is 'iiXedtfo-,the left-hand ear of thebracket 182 and supportsat its top a 'curved hood or roof `191 whichoverhangs the. spools and provides. a housing therefor.

i .The

ett-hand spool 1 88 is looselvconined between 'the collar portion187`fand a knurled button or cap 192 which is screwed into theouter endof the shaft11'87. The

- inner opposing faces of the spools are provided with a series ofprojections or teeth 193 for coperation with a connector orl lever 194which is arranged in a slot 195 in present instance toy aper orv tion. YThis construction from itsfbearing.

the collar portion- 187l of thesha'vft and is pivoted between its ends.One arm of the lever 194 terminates in oppositely disposed teeth 196while'the opposite arm provides a finger piece 197. A spring detent 198screwed to the collarl18'7a'coperates with the connector 194 to maintainit in engagement with one or the otherv of the spools. -v

When the connectoris set as in Fig. 7, one of its teeth 196 will engagewith the teeth 193 of'fthe spool 189, thereby connecting said .spool toturn withthe shaft 187. In order. to reverse the feed 'of the ribbon,the handle sox Wound on the spools isa narrow supple- `mentary ribbon199. Followingthe course of this ribbon from the spool 188 to the spool189, said7 ribbon passes downward from theback of thewspool 188 over adiagonal turnin bar cutting a triangular slot-4 201 in the uprightportion 202 of an angular bracket 203 fixed by screws 204 to the outerface of the end bar 11. The course of the ribbon is changed by theturning bar 200, and it is directed inward horizontally at right anglespassing over the left-hand portion of the platen opposite the printingline thereon until it reaches a iding or turning device'. Said deviceint e present instance is formed by the upri ht U-shaped portion 205of'a wire tally extending portion 206 bearing rotatably in a housingorpocket 207 fixed by soldering orotherwise to the front edge portionofthe paper apron 109. The wire -206 bears frictionally in this pocket sothat it will be held either in upright position as shown b fu1l-lines inFig, 13 or may be turnedv own as shown `by dotted llines in vsaid figureto carry the supplementary rib- :bon out of use, The inner end of thewire 206 is bent 'atan angle and coperates with a notch in the paperapron 109 to limit turning movement of the guide 205- in one direcalsoprevents the guide from being) accidentally displaced theguide behind.its outer ply toward the left, thus providing two rib on plies which,when the guide-205 is upright, are arranged over the printing linebehind the apron extension 95, these plies being slightly longer thanthe width of the outer bill sheet or check.- The rear ply of the ribbonatfits left is led over a diagonal guide o r turning bar 208 formed bycutting a second triangular slot 209 in the upright bracket 203.

208 deflects the ribbon so that it passes up tothe spool 189 atits'back. The ribbon l200 which is formed by 10o" unguide W ich'further'. comprises a ,horizon-` assing' rearward around 205 the ribbon199 extends back This turning barv lao pawl 14S is normally maintainedengaged with the ratchet wheel 1% by the spring 14T. and consequentlywhen the pressure bail is depressed from the lfig. tl to the Fig. 16position. said pa wl will operate to tura the ratchet and communicatemotion to the ronnected ribbon spool windiin` the ribbon 199 thereon.The ribbon will tuis be moved or fed to a slight extent longitudinallybetween said ribbon spool 1nd the guide Q05 and will be uuwound to acorresponding extent from the loose ribbon spool. When the pressure bailis lifted or restored 'from the F ig. 16 to the Fig. 9 position the feedpawl will slide idly over its ratchetwheel so that at the nextdepression of the pressure bail a further ribbon feeding movement willbe conununicated to the supplementary ribbon. It will be seen thereforethat the supplementalt`- ribbon is fed automatically when the pressurebail comprising the rock shaft 13G and arms 13T is depressed to lowerthe manifold cut-out or type shield.

The supplementary ribbon is entirely distinct from and controlledindependently of the main ribbon of thc machine. Said main ribbon, shownin Figs. 1 and 10 and indicated by the numeral 210, is threaded throu ha. vibratory carrier or vibrator 211 of or inary construction which ismoved up and down to cover the printing point at the middle of themachine when the printing keys are actuated. The feeding and controllingof the main ribbon 210 may be effected b r devices of the usualRemington construction.

The present embodiment of my invention was more particularly designedfor use in a system of municipal accounting wherein a series of checksis to be written successively and certain items of the checks duplicatedsimultaneously on a schedule sheet or credit side of the cash book. Thechecks are the shorter work sheets and a. facsimile of one of them isshown in Fig. 17 where it is designated for convenience as e. Theschedulc sheet or record sheet is fra entarily reproduced in Fig. 18 onasomew at smaller scale than the check and will be designated as fl.This record sheet has to be written entirely7 in ink but the systemrequires several duplicate record sheets and these may accordingly beprovided in a pack with interleaved carbon sheets. One such duplicaterecord sheet. is shown in Fig. 11 where it is designated as d while theinterleaved carbon sheet is designated as j. The check c, it will beobserved. contains near the top a blank for its number which is usuallyapplied by a stamp. The pay to the order blank on the check contains twolilies. the firatI line for the name of the payee and the ser-.ond forhis address. These two entries are lo he duplicated on theI columnheaded This space for, ctc., on thc record sheet d.

(ln the Saulo lino of the check with the address of the payee andfollowing the dollar sign, the amount is to bc written in figures. lt isessential that this amount on cach check b c begun as close as possibleto the dollar sign 1n order to prevent the insertion of additionaliigures between the dollar sign and the first ligure of the correctamount. This requirement necessitates that each check shall bepositioned denominationally lengthwise of the (platen, and suchositloning is accomplishe by means of t le denommational gage inaccordance with the amount to be filled in. ,Said amount is duplicatedin the amount due column on the sheet The next or dollars line of thecheck requires the amount to be written in words, and the line followingthat is filled in with the name of the particular pay-roll to which thepayee is assigned. Neither the dollars line nor the pay-roll line on thecheck is to be duplicated on the record sheet and consequently themanifold cut-out is brought into use when these lines are filled in soas to prevent their reproduction on the underlying record sheet. Theentries reproduced on the record sheet from the check are written bymeans of the supplementary ribbon but all of the other entries to bemade on the record sheet in the columns to the right of the amountcolumn, are exposed and will be filled in through the main ribbon. It isnot necessary to describe s ifically these other columns since they onot particularly concern us in the present case. It need only be saidthat they mayr readily be lled in by the usel of the tabulatingmechanism.

From what has been said heretofore it will be understood that the checksc are fed over the left-hand end portion of the platen and controlled bythe devices associated with said end portion while the record or mainsheets (l and d' are fed over the enti rc length of the platen andunderlie at their left-hand end portions. All the feed rollers beingthrown oil". the sheets d and d of the interleaved carbon are introducedfrom the buck of the machine over 'the paper table 123, their left-handedges being gaged by the gage or guide 131 with their tops introducedunder the rolls 142 of the pressure bail. Said sheets being properlypositioned, the feed rolls are thrown on again and then the roller 77.together with thc apron 92 and extension 95. are thrown olf asillustrated in Fig. 11 to facilitate thc front ieedinp` or introductionat the front side of the platen of the check 'lhis check will be ,cagedaccording to its amount by the denominational gage devices. .'\t thistime the manifold rutout is raised out of operation and the carriage.stop 166 is iu cllective position. It will ha observed from Fig. l1that the ehi-rk r' is 'Forward of ille manifold olll-ol|t while theother work sheets are behind it; also that the supplementary ribbon 199is between the check and the sheet (l. After the check has b cenproperlpositioned to bring its first line opposite the printing pointthe left-hand feed roll is thrown on and. the carriage is moved to theright until arrested by the stop 166. The name of the payee is thenfilled in, the )arts being arranged so that this name will begin at-thcbeginning of the name blank. The check is then line spaced a singlespace and the address of thc payee is filled in. T hose two items areduplicated on the record sheet. Next the proper tabulator key 1soperated to release the carriage and move it toward the left untilarrested in position for filling in the amount. T lie parts are soarranged that the first figure of the amount will be just to the rightof the doll-.ir sign on the check and as it is filled in this amountwill he n'operly duplicated in the amount due column on the recordsheet. In the illustrations the amount is $500 so that the check hasbeen fraged b v means of the 100 gage or slide. The work sheets are thenline spaced. The key 146 is actuated to render the manifold cut-outoperative and lift the carriage stop 166 and the carriage is tbenrestored from left to right until arrested by the stop 165. This bringsit into the proper position for beginning the writing of the dollarsline at the extreme left of said line. As stated. this entr;r is notduplicated on the record sheet since the types will strike against themanifold bar or cut-out. The onl \7 result will be that the edges 157 ofthe cnt-out will cause faint lines on the record sheets. Preferably therecord sheet is so ruled that these lines will practically coincide withthe cross lines on said sheet and hence their prominence will belessened. The pay-roll line is also filled in while the manifold cut-outis operative; and varions entries in the distributing columns on theright-hand portion of the record sheet may also be filled in by the useof the tabulator, the printing' devices and the main ribbon. 'Thisdisposes of the first check which may then be removed and a new checkintroduced. Should this new check be for an amount, say. in tens ofdollars the 10 stop or slide 173 is rendered operative so that thesecond cheek will be positioned one letter space to the right of thefirst check. thus providing for the writing in of the amount in figuresclose to the dollar sign as before, and also providing for its properdenominational positirminitl.r under the first amount in the amount duecolumn on the record sheet. In restoring the carriage from left to rightto begin the writing of the second check. the roller .1.58 will rido upon thc cam 163, thus lifting the manifold cut-out device out ofoperation. and restoring! the stop ifnf' to ol'cctive position so thatthc carriage will bo arrested by said stop. lt is believed that thisexplaination with what has previously been said will afford a fullunderstanding of the use of the invention in connection with the systememploying the work sheets c and d.

In some cases it is preferable to print the checks in blank on acontinuous strip from which the individual checks are successively tornafter being filled in on the typewriter. When a check Strip of thischaracter is eniployed, the denominational side gage mechanism isdispensed with, the gages being slid forward out of operative position,and use is made of a scale device to position the check strip variably.Such a scale device is shown in Fig. 15 and comprises a short Scaleplate 212 mounted at the upper end of an integral arm 213 whichterminates at its lower end in a. slide portion 214. Said slide 214friotionally engages in a horizontally arranged grooved guide plate 215secured to the left-hand front portion of the paper guide or apron 92.The scale plate 212 is arranged just above the upper edge of said apron.After having once been set along the guide 215, the scale device 212 isnot disturbed so long as the character of the check strip remainsunchanged. With the check strip use is also made of the supplementarypaper table 127, the rear unused portion of the check strip resting onsaid table 127 as shown in Fi 12 wherein such check strip is designateby the reference numeral s. The check strip may thus be handled freelywithout disturbing or without interference from the main or underlyingwork sheets which are fed over the main pa. r table 123 as before. Inusing the chee strip s the left-hand feed rolls are thrown off and thecheck strip is adjusted by means of the scale plate 212 in accordancewith the amount to be written. If the amount of the first check is inunits of dollars. the left-hand edge of the strip is adjusted in linewith the first indicating mark at the right-hand side of the scaleplate. The left-hand feed is then thrown on and the check is written ashas heretofore been described. Tf the amount of the next succeedingcheck is. say, in one hundreds of dollars, the left-hand feed roll isthrown ofi and the check strip is adjusted with its left-hand edgeopposite thc third indicatin mark counting from the righthand enr off'the scale; and so on.

It will of course be understood that the present invention may hcemployed for writing other styles of work than that horeinbcforcdescrilwd. It will also hc nixdorstood that the invention is so appliedto thc machine that it will not inter-foro with the use thereof inordinary ways. for instance, the machine may be employed to writo a widework sheet extending from one und of the platen to the other, allimpressions heing made from tho regular ribbon 210. All that it isnecessary to do preliminary to making such use ot' the machine is toturn down the guide 205 of the supplementary ribbon from the full lineposition in Fig. 13 to the dotted line position. This resetting of theguide carries the printing portion of the supplementary ribbon downbelow the printing line in the platen and renders 1t inoperative.
